What
are the Essentials in a Dog House?

Any
fundamental requirements of a dog house are based on the purpose
for which the dog house will be put to use.

For instance, if the dog house is meant for sheltering the
dog only for a temporary period then one need not look for
providing more facilities and the dog house can be made with
less stronger materials.

In case of the dog house being used permanently, then you
need to think of providing all the basic requirements such
as shelter, security, proper ventilation, good movement space,
etc.

If
your idea is to go for a permanent type of a dog house then
the chosen dog house design should have both the aesthetic
values and solid materials so as to withstand any level of
vagaries of nature.

You
should also note to consider the size of the dog house depending
on the size of your dog. Further, in cold winter you may have
to even think of providing heating facilities to make your
dog cosy inside the kennel.

A
lot of thoughts and scientific approaches are to be applied
while designing a good dog house, because the size of the
dog house should be spacious enough for the dog to move around
and at the same time compact enough to get the warmth quickly
in winter months.

The
next important aspect that should not escape your mind while
going for a dog house design is the proper ventilation.

Any
poorly ventilated dog house will not allow the stale air to
escape leading to high humidity and a bad smelling dog house.

The recommended solution for proper ventilation is to provide
an air vent at the top of the dog house or in the roof, as
air vents are capable of circulating fresh air by driving
out stale air through vents. Due to proper air circulation
the humidity level will also be at a desirable level.

When
it comes to choosing the materials for your dog house you
should not compromise on cheap and filthy materials, as they
are capable severely jeopardising the security of your dog.

Further choose only such materials that are washable, waterproof,
modular in nature, insulated or galvanised, and have aesthetic
appearance.

Today
one can get all these features in a pre-fabricated polypropylene
material and it will be easy for cleaning and disinfecting.

To
make the finishing touch, you can go for a good, dust proof
and weather proof bedding material for that real cosy feeling
to your dog.
